Excelente opción para conocer Alfama. Wenceslao, nuestro guía (un diez!!!), nos permitió conocer la parte turística y luego adentrarnos en las callecitas y miradores de Alfama, contándonos no solo datos históricos, sino también anécdotas, historias de la gente que vive alli, fiestas tradicionales, etc. Fuimos con niños y las tres horas de caminata subiendo y bajando pasaron volando. Súper recomendable! Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent option to get to know Alfama. Wenceslao, our guide (a ten!!!), allowed us to get to know the tourist part and then enter the small streets and viewpoints of Alfama, telling us not only historical data, but also anecdotes, stories of the people who live there, traditional festivals, etc. We went with children and the three hours of walking up and down flew by. Super recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

Carolina, la guia, simplemente DE 10!!!explicaciones claras, divertidas...lo mejor que nos podia pasar en este tour por este barrio tan pintoresco y acogedor..perderse por las calles , con esas pendientes tan pronuncadas, es toda una aventura que no hay que perderse. Por favor, parada obligatoria en casa de dora con el chupito de ginginha(corregirme que se que esta mal escrito )antes de llegar al mirador de santa lucia. Ah, cuidado, que , en alfama, tambien hay vieja del visillo....si las veis, Translate this opinion into English.

Carolina, the guide, simply 10!!! clear, fun explanations... the best thing that could happen to us on this tour of this picturesque and welcoming neighborhood... getting lost in the streets, with those steep slopes, is quite a adventure not to be missed. Please, mandatory stop at Dora's house with the shot of ginginha (correct me, I know it's misspelled) before arriving at the Santa Lucia viewpoint. Oh, be careful, in Alfama, there are also old women with curtains....if you see them, Opinion translated. Show original.

El free tour fue genial. La guía Sara era muy profesional, cercana y una excelente oradora. Sabía perfectamente cómo mantener nuestra atención, usando metáforas y apelando a todos nuestros sentidos (oído, gusto..) para descubrir el barrio de Alfama. También muy interesante que habló de problemáticas actuales del barrio, como la gentrificación. Con esta guía el tour es 100% recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Excelente actividad para darle buen vistazo al barrio de Alfama y conocer algunas reseñas históricas sobre algunos puntos. Ahora sé cuales son los lugares a los que quiero ir para profundizar en su historia. Araceli fue muy simpática y amable, preocupándose de que estuviéramos a la sombra (empezamos las 3:30 de la tarde) y preguntándonos constantemente si deseabamas descansar un momento, ya que el barrio se encuentra entre montes y valles del sector. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent activity to take a good look at the Alfama neighborhood and learn some historical reviews about some points. Now I know which are the places I want to go to deepen its history. Araceli was very nice and kind, making sure that we were in the shade (we started at 3:30 in the afternoon) and constantly asking us if we wanted to rest for a moment, since the neighborhood is located between mountains and valleys in the sector.

It was incredible. Gabriel was an amazing tour guide. I learned so much about the culture and the history and it was so fun. We got to interact with the people who live here too and support local business. It was truly awesome. And Gabriel helped us out with restaurant recommendations and gave us rich history about a local writer we asked about. Highest rating!

Super tour, je recommande à 100%. Même pour une personne avec quelques difficultés à marcher, car Antonella est à l’écoute et elle fait des « pauses ». Antonella est passionnée par Lisbonne et ça se ressent dans ses explications et dans sa visite, c’était tellement agréable ! J’ai adoré. Attention ça monte beaucoup, côtes et escaliers mais c’est Lisbonne, c’est le jeu. Le lieu de rendez vous est facile à trouver. Translate this opinion into English.

Great tour, I recommend 100%. Even for a person with some walking difficulties, because Antonella listens and takes “breaks”. Antonella is passionate about Lisbon and it shows in her explanations and in her visit, it was so pleasant! I loved. Be careful it goes up a lot, hills and stairs but it's Lisbon, it's the game. The meeting place is easy to find. Opinion translated. Show original.

Guía entretenido. Datos históricos, sociológicos y prácticos. Es un barrio complicado con cuestas empedradas....pero precioso. Únicamente me ha disgustado la insistencia del guía en que debíamos valorar su trabajo... con respecto a la justa aportación a entregar al final del tour... Ya lo sabiamos y repetirlo 3 veces en un lapso de 2 30 horas ... genera incomodidad xq demuestra nula confianza. Translate this opinion into English.

Entertaining guide. Historical, sociological and practical data. It is a complicated neighborhood with cobbled slopes... but beautiful. The only thing that annoyed me was the guide's insistence that we should value his work... with regard to the fair contribution to be delivered at the end of the tour... We already knew this and repeated it 3 times in a period of 2 30 hours... discomfort xq shows zero confidence. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour por el barrio de Alfama fue increíble, la guía estupenda. Nosotros fuimos con una bebe , recomendaría usar porteo para esta actividad ya que nosotros fuimos con carrito y sino hubiera sido por la ayuda de los integrantes del grupo nos habría sido imposible subir tantas escaleras con el. Así que me parece bien comentar esto para que los papis que quieran hacer esta actividad puedan hacerla de una manera más cómoda con el porteo y dejando el carrito. Muy recomendable! Translate this opinion into English.

The tour of the Alfama neighborhood was incredible, the guide was great. We went with a baby, I would recommend using a baby carrier for this activity since we went with a stroller and if it had not been for the help of the members of the group it would have been impossible for us to climb so many stairs with it. So it seems good to me to comment on this so that the parents who want to do this activity can do it in a more comfortable way with the porter and leaving the cart. Highly recommended!
